The laughter of the Blood Queen disappeared.No one spoke.No one moved.Even the wolves seemed to understand that something far more dangerous than the battle had awakened.The mountain groaned.Then another crack appeared across its surface.Luna stared at it."What is the Void?"The First Wolf didn't answer immediately.His silver eyes remained fixed on the mountain.Finally, his voice entered Luna's mind.*It is what existed before the Moon.*Luna's stomach tightened."Before the Moon?"*Before the wolves. Before the bloodlines. Before your world had a name.*Kael looked at Luna."What's he saying?"Luna swallowed."Something ancient."The ground shook again.A black mist began pouring from the cracks in the mountain.Where the mist touched the grass, the plants withered.The wolves backed away.Even the witches lowered their weapons.The Blood Queen looked toward the mountain."This wasn't supposed to happen."Luna looked at her."You planned this.""No."The queen's voice was di
